Abstract

The face of historical text, only in-depth study of those who survived the valuable materials, as objectively as possible to understand and reproduce the author was writing context and tortuous process, in order to make their thinking to the interpretation, summary and evaluation of a solid foundation . The article according to the authors collected data, combined with their own analysis and judgments of the "German Ideology" the process of writing a detailed outline and sort out. Conclusion: it is not a plan, complete writings, that has not been very rigorous in advance and the overall consideration and planning, but caused by a number of incidents, writing several changes in plans and frame structure, change, written by a number of different , chapters of uneven length of the length of a combination of very loose writings, and ultimately not completed and published. This situation shows that a long time does not research the process of writing this text, Kanbu case, version of the origins, but with editing by someone else made, just like a "complete" the writings on the interpretation of its contents, or even solely on the basis one of the few words we generalize their ideas and comments, will result in much difference in interpretation and misunderstanding! Now the situation is to change the time of such research. A sound interpretation, summary and evaluation of historic text require in-depth research into those valuable materials, objective understanding and reproduction of the writer's context of writing at that moment. This paper outlines and combs the writing process of The German Ideology in great detail, on the basis of the data collected. The conclusion is: it is not a planned, finished work, ie, it is not planned and prepared carefully beforehand, but triggered by several incidents; the framework and structure have undergone many changes; it is a rather loose work composed of several parts different in both writing style and length; and it is not completed or published. It demonstrates that without any textual research into the writing process, publishing information, editions and origins, an arbitrary interpretation of the work, sometimes based upon fragments, could lead to tremendous misunderstanding. Now it is time for a change
